“Are you okay?” she asks, letting my face go. “Yesterday was kind of a whirlwind and you didn’t really say much about how things went with Kali.”

I groan and roll onto my back. The last person I want to think about with Merry in my bed is my ex. Not that I’m mad at her for bringing it up. I should be glad that she’s worried about me.

“It was a little bit of a mind fuck,” I admit. “Catching up with her wasn’t exactly how I pictured my day.”

I turn my head to face Merry and notice the sun shining through the windows, casting light on her Monroe piercing and making her sparkle.

“How did you leave things?”

“Fine, I guess. Although I’m sure it will be to the disappointment of my mother, if she even reaches out.”

“Kali talks to her?”

“Apparently. Which is fucking hypocritical considering she won’t talk to her own son because of his career choice.” I wipe my palm over my face. “I guess Kali getting knocked up by my best friend when we were together is acceptable, but rock music isn’t.”

“Yikes.” Merry shakes her head. “Well, if she comes at you, I’m pretty sure I can take her too.”

“Did you just offer to fight my mom for me?” I laugh.

Merry nudges my shoulder. “I’m scrappy, and I give zero fucks who they are. If someone messes with someone I care about, I’ll take ‘em.”

“Such a fighter,” I say, rolling on my side to face her and propping my head up under my arm.

“Says the peacekeeper.” She lifts an eyebrow.

“Is that what I am?”

Merry nods. “You’ve got a big heart.”

“That youcareabout, apparently.”

Merry tips her head forward and leans her forehead against my chest. “Of course, that’s what you choose to pick up from this conversation?”

I shrug my shoulder.

“What am I going to do with you?” she asks, planting a hand on my cheek and giving me a quick kiss.

“I don’t know.” I grin. “But hopefully, whatever it is, we’re naked.”

That draws a big laugh out of her, and I get lost in it.

“Oh, it will definitely involve us being naked,” Merry says, skimming her fingers slowly down my chest until she wraps her hand around my hard cock and pumps it once. My vision blacks out for a second, she feels so good. Her touch, her smell, her skin.

She squeezes a little tighter and moves again, making my dick ache with excitement, and I groan. Not able to take it anymore, I grab her hips and roll her on top of me.

“Stop teasing.” I smack her ass with my hand, and she lets out a sexy little yelp as she digs her fingernails into my shoulders.

“Oh, I’m sorry, did you want this?” Merry tries to pass off as sweet and innocent with a sugary smile, but it’s dark and sexy as fuck. She slides her slick pussy over my dick with a devilish look in her eyes that makes me almost come undone.

I grip her nice round hips and sink my fingers in, pressing her softness against me. “Fuck yes.”

She leans down so her lips are by my ear. “Then ask nicely.”

I laugh. “Please make me feel good, Mercedes.”

She narrows her eyes at me for using her full name, but there’s amusement on her face. Sliding her core against me again, she pauses right where the head of my cock catches at her entrance.

“Since you asked so nicely, Mr. Hayes.” And she impales herself on me so fast it takes the air from her chest.
